    @chinatowninchina stick with it! Four pounds isn’t bad. Stay determined and focused!

    Looks like the scale started to move again. Was hoping to hit 230 by the end of February. Let’s see how close I can get to it.

    Weighing in. No loss this week. I splurged on real pizza last Sunday night and I've been paying for it all week. My arthritis flared up and I felt bloated all week. I also struggled with crazy carb cravings. Ugh. Glad to be past it all again. It seems like all the foods that I once loved aren't as appealing anymore when I eat them, but my brain hasn't figured that out yet. They always sound like they will be delicious, but are never as good as I remember.

    Yay! 2 lbs this week! One awesome NSV is that I ran a 5k today at the gym. My first time running 5k in over a year! And this was after my 1 hour spin class. B)

    Congratulations to everyone this week not just because of loss but also because of the ah-ha's we are all getting as we learn more and more how we react to what we eat. I feel that can be even more important than scale shifts in the long run. My ah-ha is even though my husband has made bad choices this week I didn't let his choices dictate my eating decisions. In the past I would say something like "if he doesn't care why should I" and then make a bad food decision like cake or chips. This week I said 'No, I need to not let him screw me up!" Just my 2 cents ;)

    February Goal: 237

    2/4: 246.5 -2.5lbs
    2/11: 246 -.5
    2/18: 243 -3 (Yay!)

    It's been a better week for me. Don't think I'll make my goal of 237 but I'm hoping to maybe see the 230's. Now the weather has been better I've been able to get over 10,000 steps in most every day. I'm doing better with my fasting window, not really feeling hungry and have shifted my first meal to around 4pm then getting done by 9 or so.

    Not quite a pound this past week. I actually am very happy with that as I just pretty much ate whatever this past week with the flu. I am back at it today!!!!

    @mznik114 I remember you tagging me in a post that you'd messaged me a 2nd time, but I never received that message either. I'm shooting you a message with my email. I'm hoping you get it.

    I read somewhere recently that it's a good ides to set goals with a date you can work up to. I think the example given was that if you're working up to a 5k, to have a date in mind and sign up for one. There are several 5k coming up in May so I thought I'd train for one. I've been trying to incorporate more running. Since the fall I'd been doing intervals. This week I decided to just run as long as I could or until fell off the treadmill (you just never know). I was able to work up to 2 miles at a steady pace with no stopping. It took me 40 minutes. I've never run that long....EVER! In fact, when I started intervals I couldn't do more than 2 minutes at a time. Interestingly enough I could continued running. I stopped because the show I was watching finished and I wanted to spend time with the family. In all it was an excellent week! Last week of the month is here. I'm running right into March. WOOOOOOO!!!

    @valleygirl74 I'm guessing you reversed the 1 and the 3 above as I'm pretty sure there is no way you put on almost 19 pounds in a week not even I can do that!!

    I was about to post about that too. :) Although I could definitely eat enough chocolate in a week to do just that.

    Is anyone interested in a challenge this week? Something simple?

    Here's a simple challenge for all of you daily weight checkers. I'm OCD about weighing myself daily but I'm willing to challenge anyone to NOT step on a scale until next Sunday.

    I'm in - Who else will take up the NO WEIGH IN challenge for this whole week?

    Oh my goodness not a chance! I'd be all anticipatory and think I'd lost more that I had and I would want to throw the thing if unexpectedly I was up or the same. Brings me out in hives just to think of it, I'll stick to OCD! Good luck to everyone else though! B)
